benghazi resident fahad al bakoush shot the video. he told us he heard somebody yell "there's a body, a foreigner." but bakoush said nobody recognized the ambassador. >> ( translated ): god is great, he's alive, he's alive. >> reporter: bakoush said he didn't see bruising or bleeding but the ambassador's face was red and his lips were black. he told us they tried to find a doctor in the crowd but there was none. then he helped get the ambassador to the hospital. as the attack continued on the consulate, a libyan security official told us he and his team started to evacuate the remaining 30 americans to a safe house a mile and a half away. he didn't want to be identified for fear of revenge. but less than an hour after the consulate staff made it to the safe house, it also came under attack. the first attack was from r.p.g.s-- rocket-propelled grenades. then there were mortars. he told us the strikes were extremely accurate, as if the attackers knew exactly what they were aiming for. when we toured the safe house, his account seemed to
